The Board of Governor’s (BOG)
approved the following Distance
Education (DE) Regulations in
March 2002, and in July 2002, the
Secretary of State adopted the
regulations.
The regulations set forth the recommendations made by the
Chancellor’s Office (CO) and the system wide advisory
group, Distance Education Technical Advisory Committee
(DETAC).
The approved regulations continue to allow California
Community Colleges to explore and develop educational
initiatives using advanced communication and computing
technologies to address student access issues related to
geographical, cultural, disability or facility barriers.
Distance Education
Technical Advisory
Committee

Purpose
– To advise the Chancellor’s Office on strategies
on implementation and evaluation of distance
education for the system and to assist in the
development and enhancement of community
colleges’ distance education programs by
providing technical assistance and related
source materials on good practices.

55205. Definitions and Application.

Distance education means instruction in which the instructor
and student are separated by distance and interact through
the assistance of communication technology. All distance
education is subject to the general requirements of this
chapter as well as the specific requirements of this article. In
addition, instruction provided as distance education is subject
to the requirements that may be imposed by the Americans
with Disabilities Act (42 U.S.C. Sec. 12100 et seq.) and
section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended,
(29 U.S.C. § 794d).

The Disabled
Student
Programs and
Services
(DSP&S)
DSP&S Origin
The Disabled Student Programs and
Services (DSP&S) was enacted in
1976 through the passage of AB 77
(Lanterman), which funded support
services and instructional programs
for students with disabilities in the
California Community Colleges.
DSP&S Overview
*State Funded Categorical Program
*Assistance to Eligible Students with
Disabilities as they pursue their
individual educational, personal, and/or
vocational goals.
DSP&S Mission
DSP&S provides support services,
specialized instruction, and educational
accommodations to students with
disabilities so they can participate fully
and benefit equally in the
postsecondary educational setting.

“Access” Means More Than The
Availability of Information.

Timely Manner, Accurately, and in a
Medium Appropriate to the

CAPTIONING DEFINITIONS
Real-time (live) Captioning:
Captions which are simultaneously created and transmitted
during a class, video program or conference. A trained stenotypist does this on-site or remotely. Most real-time captioning
is shown in a scrolling style.
Closed Captioning:
Captions that appear only when special equipment called a
decoder is used. Closed captioning is typically used for
broadcast television and for videocassettes of movies which
are widely distributed.
CCC LIVE CAPTION PROGRAM
Criteria:

Reimbursement for only live captioning costs

Instructional classes only, not administrative sessions

Credit or non-credit classes

Telecourses (ITV, ITFS) to be reimbursed first, then if funds
are available, live video-streaming or live web casts

Classes must have occurred after July 1, 2002

WHY MUST WE LIVE CAPTION?
IT’S THE LAW

According to the U.S. Department of Education, Office for Civil
Rights (OCR), responding to an ad-hoc accommodation
request by an individual student with a disability is not enough
to satisfy compliance requirements for distance education
courses.

Distance Education courses must be designed in such a way
that the level of communication and course taking experience
is the same for students with or without disabilities.

CHANGES TO CCC LIVE CAPTION

All qualified CCC’s have minimum baseline funding. Live captioning billing
over baseline funding will be paid in full on a first-come-first-serve basis
while funding is available.

New application and funding steps:
CCC’s will submit applications to CCC Live Caption for funding.
Upon approval of funding, CCC Foundation will notify designated captioning
vendor of CCC approval.
Captioning company will work out details with college to provide live
captioning services.
The captioning company will bill the CCC Foundation directly for services.

Turnaround time for reimbursement of live captioning expenses to qualified
CCC’s has been shortened to 7-10 business days from submission of the
reimbursement application (if college has already paid for captioning
services).
